(420 ILCS 15/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 230.21)
Sec. 1.
For the purposes of this Act, "spent nuclear fuel" means the
irradiated energy source that is permanently removed from the core of a
nuclear fission reactor either because it can no longer effectively sustain
a chain reaction due to the depletion of fissionable isotopes and the build
up of by-products that interferes with the chain reaction or because safety
or operating concerns dictate such removal.
